Chapter 35: The Strong

"Has the Wuzhu Descending Table finally arrived?"

Situ Wanli played with the edict in his hand, a document that may be related to the lives and deaths of thousands of lives, just like playing with a toy.

Liu Ji was on the side, holding a pair of dice cups, still gambling on his own.

"Brother Liu Ji, why did you say that Wuzhu's attitude changed so quickly. Two days ago, didn't he still put us here and ignore it, and now he actually sent the table over directly? ”

"Six-six-six." Liu Ji let out a loud shout and opened the dice cup, and sure enough, it was three sixes. Liu Ji seemed to be a little satisfied, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Wuzhu is a smart person, the empire is now in the middle of the day, how can he use his mantis arm as a car?" ”

"Really? Maybe! Situ Wanli said suspiciously, and finally let go of the doubts in his heart. When do we depart? ”

"The sooner the better, it's boring here." Liu Ji smiled, as if he couldn't bear the miserable life here, "Moreover, those big people in Beijing can't wait." ”

In the city of Xianyang, the eldest son's mansion.

In Tian Yan's independent courtyard, the yellow leaves in the courtyard fell with the autumn wind, and her pale and beautiful face seemed to be a little more sentimental. In the corridor behind her, from time to time, there were people from the eldest prince's mansion walking. The subordinates lowered their heads, and they didn't even dare to look at Tian Yan's side, they were secretive about the women in this courtyard.

Tian Yan entered the eldest son's mansion as a woman and became the chief strategist under Fusu, which can be said to be unparalleled in resourcefulness. However, Tian Yan's identity in this prince's mansion is very embarrassing after all. In the eyes of the next people, Tian Yan is just a forbidden place for Fusu to cultivate. A woman with no name and no division, the lord does not live, the servant is not a servant, and no one in this prince's mansion is willing to approach her, so as not to annoy the wife of His Royal Highness Fusu, the real master of these people.

The breeze is gentle and the water is rippling, sending a trace of the fragrance of green bamboo into the nose and refreshing people's lungs. Tian Yan remembered the scene on Shu Mountain that day, under the giant trees of Fusang, and remembered the man who was uninhibited and didn't seem to care much about even the enemies who could threaten him. Thinking of the light smile that appeared at the corner of his mouth when he looked at him, Tian Yan always had a feeling of unconvincing in his heart, wanting to compete with him.

The corners of his curved eyebrows stretched slightly, and Tian Yan's face showed a faint smile.

"Miss Tian Yan."

Except for one person, no one else will bother themselves at this time.

Tian Yan turned around, and the gentle and polite Fusu Gongzi appeared in front of her. Even though he is already the father of a child, Fusu still looks like a handsome young man.

"His Royal Highness, the eldest prince." Tian Yan held his hands on his waist, bent his knees slightly, and bowed.

"No need to be polite." Fusu smiled and said, "The autumn wind is gradually rising, the weather is getting cooler, and the girl's body is weak, so you need to pay more attention."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Eldest Prince, for your concern." Tian Yan smiled and thanked him. It's just that this smile is too rigid in Fusu's opinion.

This is a beauty, and after getting along day and night, Fusu has already been tempted by it.

My Fair Lady, Gentleman. In Fusu's opinion, there is nothing wrong with this. It's just that Tian Yan always has a layer of separation from him, and Tian Yan is deliberately avoiding Fusu's love.

Fusu was a generous person after all, put aside this matter, and said: "The surrender and envoys of Ouyue Wang Shao and Minyue Wang Wuzhu have arrived in Xianyang. This time, I want to thank the girl and the farmer. ”

"Serving the son, the farmer is up and down."

"Yes!" Fusu didn't say anything too humble, just nodded lightly. In fact, the farmer at this moment is already under the command of Fusu, and the difference is only the nominal master-slave relationship.

"Min Yue and Ou Yue surrendered without a fight, my father will be very happy to know it!"

"Emperor Qin is a promising monarch who wants to establish a thousand years of meritorious deeds. Gongzi won the first place in the empire's southern expedition to Baiyue this time, and I am afraid that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be willing to bow down. ”

Tian Yan said Yingziyi, and a trace of sadness appeared between Fusu's warm eyebrows. For this younger brother, Fusu's heart has always been very entangled. On the one hand, Gongzi Fusu, who was deeply influenced by Confucianism, knew that only when the monarch and the ministers were harmonious and the brothers and brothers could the world of Daqin be stable. But on the other hand, the thirst for the throne no longer whipped him all the time, telling him to seize the position of prince that should have belonged to him.

The two ideas are entangled in Fusu's heart, so that Fusu has always been in contradiction.

"The last time you went to Shushan, did you see His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince?"

"I didn't see it." I don't know why? Tian Yan didn't want to talk to Fusu about the scene on the top of Shu Mountain that day

"You're doing a great job this time."

After the busy daytime pilgrimage has passed. At night, in the empty hall, only Emperor Qin and Fusu remained. On the throne, looking at the two tables on this imperial case, Emperor Qin praised his eldest son.

Fusu looks very similar to Emperor Qin, but the long eyebrows are extended, and they are not like Emperor Qin's sideburns, which seems to be aggressive, but has a touch of warmth, like a Confucian scholar.

"Father, my son thinks. Since Minyue and Ouyue took the lead in submitting to my Great Qin. I, Daqin, should also show the demeanor of the **** state and give a certain reward. ”

"Yes!" Emperor Qin nodded, "The widow will make the pawn focus on the specific details. ”

"Thank you, Father." Fusu bowed and thanked him.

"I heard that there are a lot of people in the rivers and lakes recently, and the old nobles of the six countries are all dating you?"

Emperor Qin's seemingly casual question made Gongzi Fusu feel horrified.

"Back to my father, yes. Erchen thought that since my Great Qin was going to implement a new policy, then the help of these people was indispensable. Fusu bowed his head, knelt on the ground, and replied.

"It's good that you can think of that." Emperor Qin seemed to be sure, but the next sentence was full of twists and turns, and the words were harsh. "But you have to know that the people of the rivers and lakes, the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms are not of the same mind as my Great Qin after all. They will fellowship with you today because of their glory and riches, and they will betray you tomorrow for the sake of glory and riches. ”

"Erchen understood, and when Erchen returned, he ordered to cut off contact with them." Listening to Emperor Qin's words, the joy on Fusu's face receded in an instant, turned stiff and white, and said resignedly.

"You still don't understand." Emperor Qin shook his head, and there was more patience in his tone: "My Great Qin respects the law, but can the law really protect my Great Qin for eternity?" There are hundreds of schools of thought, Confucianism and Taoism, there is no one that cannot be used by my Great Qin, and there is no one that cannot be destroyed by my Great Qin. The country is like this, the family is like this, do you understand? ”

Very few people were able to make Emperor Qin speak in such a tone, and Dundun's teaching was like a strict father instructing his children. For this eldest son, Emperor Qin seems to have poured too much love into it, expecting this son to become a talent.

"Erchen understood." Fusu kowtowed heavily and said.

"Very well, you go down!"

"Son-in-law, thank your father."

On the throne, Emperor Qin looked at the back of his eldest son and sighed slightly.

After all, the emperor's growth path is too long, and his eldest son is the best candidate to inherit his throne. However, he is a little too weak after all, and under the storms of the future, what the empire needs is a strong man who can combine strength and softness and ride the wind and waves.

Take a look again! Take a look again! In Emperor Qin's heart, he said so. (To be continued.) )
